Never Die Easy : The Autobiography of Walter Payton

Average rating: Stars

great book, got the point across ,but not a true autobio

Great book. No question about it. Got the point across
in beautiful way. But, I don't like the format. A lot
of the commentaries from other people (i.e. besides
Walter and Connie) failed to add value to the book.
But, overall, a super-read.

Never Die Easy : The Autobiography of Walter Payton - Walter Payton, Don Yaeger

An American treasure lost

I have been a long time Bear fan, and a Walter Payton fan,yes I knew about "Sweetness'", his tricks and how his team mates loved him, but I didn't know about Walter Payton the man, and what a man! I think the man is more amazing than the player, all the lives he touched, kids who never had a Christmas, he gave them one, the everyday common folk who he would stop and talk to, how he made them feel that he really cared about them, and he really did!, his wonderful family, he had a great Mother and Father, and Connie, his wife, what a piller of strenght!, Jarrett and Brittney, his fine children, what great kids! the love Walter recieved from them gave him endurance. This book is not about football, it's about life and how we all should strive to make our life better and live each day to the fullest, and tell all our loved ones that we love them each day! As I read this book, I grew to love the man and respect the player, the more I would read, the harder it became, I shed a ton of tears, and when I am reminded of Walter, I still mist up. What this world needs is a heck of a lot more Walter Paytons. God be with you Walter.

Greatness

Walter Payton was my hero growing up. I starting following him when in 1983 when I was 9 years old. Walter was unique on the football field and in many ways superior to most players today. Unlike many stars today, his off the field behavior and attitudes and values were truely excellent and did not let kids down the way so many do today.

This book was written in a different format than most, but was very insightful, especially since you not only get to see Walter from his point of view, but from others as well.

He will be missed!
